MV Vacation

Welcome to our Martha's Vineyard vacation photo extravaganza!

I decided just to dump them all out as opposed to picking and choosing favorites.

The first few are in Edgartown near the B&B. The whale tail and whale boat are a memorial to the whaling fleet. The bike is located on the wharf next to the Chappaquiddick ferry:






The outdoor nature scenes are from the Felix Neck Preserve. It is located between Edgartown and Oak Bluffs. Hiking trails lead to many ponds, two ocean inlets, and a variety of flora:









The shopping area in Oak Bluffs and the Cottage Village at the Tabernacle:




Menemsha Harbor, where most of the harbor scenes in Jaws were filmed. The tiny Harbor Master's shack in the first photo (above the first piling on the left side) is about 5 feet square with a door and 2 windows on each side. It was in the movie:



Driving up to White Cliffs and the Gay Head light house. The western-most point on the island is THE place to catch the sunset:













Rocking in the cottage and walking home from breakfast:


Afternoon at the Katama Beach with one tired beach bum. We just toted him away sleeping in the sheet:




Eating lunch al-fresco in Vineyard Haven a work boat cruises through Lagoon Pond toward the sound. We went to a great toy store in the same little plaza. Henry picked a stuffed toy rooster puppet. When we got out to the car, I asked him what the puppet was called and he said "Qwa Qwa" (or "Kwa Kwa"). It has become one of his favorite take-along toys - Do you want to bring Qwa Qwa?


After lunch we head to the beach along the Edgartown-Oak Bluffs Road to try out the kite we also bought at the toy store. No wind to fly a kite, so we tether Henry and run him around the sand until the sun sets:




Dinner at the Wharf. Stuffed cod, mac cheese, a big 'poon, and bigger smiles:
